We welcome Matt Price to the front seat on this week’s Sklarbro County! Matt joins Randy & Jason to talk about his new podcast Whale Cave, interviewing Shaq at a Nestlé Crunch camp for kids, and great comedy troupe names! We also get into some stories that include losing the only pair of keys to Wembley Stadium, Rex Ryan’s secret sensei, and a drunken man who wouldn’t stop. Plus, Bruce Jenner leaves an important voicemail regarding his situation with CIA operatives.
Sklarbro Country: The Power of the Warrior
Through the veins of the power of the Warrior this week’s episode is strong enough to inspire a women’s soccer team seated in coach or a former NFL star turned high school employee. Ryan Stout visits Sklarbro Country to discuss hecklers and what it was like at ground zero the night of LeBron’s decision. We also hear from Bruce Jenner, who’s currently living in a downtown Los Angeles park. Grab your horn-rimmed glasses and skinny jeans, and give this a listen. Plus, don’t forget to get your tickets to see Randy and Jason at Denver’s Comedy Works this weekend!
Sklarbro Country: Synthetic Urine
If the combination of sports, comedy, and indie rock isn’t wild enough for you, today’s guest coexists in the worlds of Mexican wrestling, burlesque, Largo, alternative rock, Carlos Mencia, and cats. Writer and alt legend Blaine Capatch is dipping his toes in the calming shores and talking about the heckling epidemic, some choice writing gigs, and his good friend Patton Oswalt. But that’s not all! To add Olympics and reality television to the scope of this episode is fan favorite Bruce Jenner, and of course we have a Weekly Walhberg. If you’re in Denver next weekend, you know what to do (the answer is NOT punch waterfalls, although it’s okay if you do)!
Are you ready to have “the talk” with Duncan Trussell? He treats us to some comedy jazz with his great insight into The Comedy Store as well as, you know, zen meditation. We’re also bringing you some retro tunes and a rare in-studio appearance of Bruce “B.J.” Jenner who is seeking revenge! And speaking of bjs…well, you’ll just have to hear the takes yourself.
Sklarbro Country: He Knows What To Do
Looking to have a crazy weekend? Why not start it off with drunk Dennis Rodman, prostitute hunting Mike Tyson, and premature death from too much televised soccer? Broken Lizards Jay Chandrasekhar and Kevin Heffernan, of Super Troopers and The Babymakers, talk movies and baseball. Plus, a call with Bryant Gumbel reveals potential new Olympic games. P.S. F Greg!
Gar Ryness, the Batting Stance Guy, brings his knowledge of major league quirks and mischievous college roommates to the calming shores. God’s fiery messages, big fat fatty athletes, and subpar sandwiches are discussed. Plus, Bruce Jenner leaves a musical voicemail.
Sklarbro Country: Tick Tack Cho
Fans of Mystery Science Theater 3000 are in for a big treat! This week on the calming shores we have MST3K veterans Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett talking puppets, Woody Allen impersonations, and Drive-By Elmos. And Bruce Jenner is back and on FIRE! Anyone with two eyes and a slit is sure to enjoy. Just be sure to avoid the nursing home cat of death!
Sklarbro Country: Maggot Stampede
You know how much we love lady energy here on the calming shores! We’ve got one of the best this week with stand-up comedian and Parks and Recreation writer Chelsea Peretti. She talks of maggots and Fleas and tells us how she learned to love the NBA. We’re also getting Gumble-y this week with yet another call from Bryant Gumble (in addition to a creepy voicemail from NPR’s Robert Siegel). Plus, get to know animator John Mathot who designed our beautiful new Sklarbro Country t-shirts. Pick up a shirt and punch a waterfall!
Sklarbro Country: Bacarri Breezer
We have no doubt that Sklarbro Country residents were and are huge Arrested Development fans. This week on the show we have the hook-handed youngest brother Tony Hale in the studio to tell us about his real life relationship with Liza Minnelli and how some inappropriate rubbing helped him land the role of Buster Bluth. He also offers up some psychiatric advice in a quick hits segment that will make you look at this country in a whole new, double-fat-fried light. Plus Bryant Gumbel is on the blower to give us some closing remarks on his brother’s attempt at sports broadcasting.

Sklar Brothers Interviewed by Jesse Thorn over on the AV Club:
Their newest standup album, Hendersons And Daughters, is less sports-focused, exploring the construction of Grimms’ fairy tales, disturbing Google search auto-fills, and Scarlett Johansson’s singing voice. They talked to us about doing the thing that’s least expected, from avoiding the predictable twin gimmicks in their comedy to making sports jokes funny to non-sports-fans.
Check out Randy and Jason Sklar every Friday on Sklarbro Country on Earwolf.
